I took my first plant out of the water and went to place it in my pot of dirt and figured because it was such a strong little plant I would just place it into the loose dirt and then pack around it.
DO NOT DO THAT!!!.
Because I didn't make a small hole to place the plant in I striped all the new roots right off the plant :( even though the roots look very strong and healthy they are still VERY fragile.
I did not make the same mistake with my other two rosemary plants. Make the hole first with your finger.
I put the rosemary plant that I striped the roots off of back into water and hopefully it will root again. I planted the other two and placed them into my light garden.
So with that, live and learn. I've transplanted a lot and I still make boo boos and will continue to make boo boos. Point is, learn from them and continue onwards.
Happy winter gardening!
